Bought this harness at REI. The stitching around the waist by the gear loop pulled out a little bit. Returned it (thank god for REI's return policy) The second one ended up being worse. Was comfy though....just won't trust it.

Great for backpacking and just general Camping out. I highly recommend the French Press adapter.

Being a bigger guy, finding a harness that would fit right (i.e. belay loop in front) and that would start to rip out when I would take a good fall was tough. I have been using this harness for about a month with no problems.

Jam all the time with just the smallest amount of chalk on your hands. Also were recalled not to long ago. Check-em if you are using them.
